Exclusive - Bond warns Spurs not to come unstuck

Tottenham assistant boss Kevin Bond has urged the Spurs squad to keep their focus in the busy New Year period, or risk ending their title chances.

Spurs sit third in the Premier League after recording their eighth win in ten Premier League games with a 2-0 victory over Norwich on Tuesday night, courtesy of a Gareth Bale brace.

The north London side now face a run of games in quick succession, with a trip to top-flight new boys Swansea this weekend followed by home games against West Brom, Everton and Wolves.

They are matches Tottenham will be expected to win but Bond has warned against complacency, telling the Sports Breakfast: “It’s a really busy period, with games on weekends, midweek, weekends. It’s going to stretch us.

“The lads have got four days until the Swansea game. We’ve got West Brom straight after that so a real run of games and, with so many games in a short period of time, your season can come come unstuck.

“You’re not going to win anything now but your season can come unstuck if you’re not careful so we’ve got to make sure, if we can, to keep up the good form.”
